Set in the coffee plantations of Colombia. Gracia is the landowner’s daughter, engaged to a cruel but wealthy suitor. El Forastero (a rugged, amnesiac revolutionary) washes up on her property. She hides him in the barn. As she nurses him back to health, she learns that true grace is not about following social rules, but about loving the outlaw. The climax involves a town revolt where the stranger reveals he is the rightful heir to the land.
